Food delivery company Waitr is asking people to donate toward meals for the hungry in the River Region, and it plans to deliver the meals over Thanksgiving week.

Waitr launched in the Montgomery area last year, providing delivery service from local restaurants, and it was wildly popular. The company broke internal growth records here, leading it to expand to Prattville, Millbrook and Auburn. “Montgomery is consistently the fastest-growing market that we have,” Waitr Regional Marketing Manager Sean Tousignant said last month.

Waitr ran its “Share Thanksgiving” campaign across the chain during its first year in Montgomery, but it hopes to expand the effort this year. The company wants to double the 1,000 families it served as part of the campaign in 2017.

You can help by clicking the “Donate a Meal” button after ordering from waitrapp.com, then choosing a dollar amount from $2 to $10. The company and its partners will match a portion of the donations from each community.

Waitr said it’s working with local organizations to identify families that need help.
